Yep.
As it was put beautifully by Keith Olberman last night Bill O'Reilly is "the Sisyphus of morons." Ha!
Apparently O'Reilly keeps on blaming WWII American soldiers for a massacre of SS soldiers who surrendered to them at Malmedy as a justification for the latest Haditha massacre. O'Reilly's argument? Americans committ massacres in war, even in WWII, therefore we shouldn't sweat the massacre at Haditha.
One problem, O'Reilly has it backwards. At Malmedy the SS massacred
American troops not the other way around.
It gets worse, he made a similar claim, in response to Abu Ghraib, to Wesley Clark, several months ago and still made this false claim.
It gets even worse. After being called on his false claim
again, Fox scrubbed the transcripts to say "Normandy" after the fact to give the appearance he didn't make the claim, twice, incorrectly, to Wesley Clark.
Sisyphus of morons indeed. See Olberman's whole video and transcript
here Thanks Jeff.

Whoa. I've heard Bill O say a lot of bad and stupid stuff, but this has to be the single worst one.
